The 49ers are Scapegoating Steve Wilks

[Excuses Progressive Democrat Style]

Kyle Shanahan believes Wilks and his defense are the problem.
Not Shanahan's offense, which has scored only 17 points three
games in row.

Kyle Shanahan couldn't throw Steve Wilks under the bus fast
enough this season.

First, when the 49ers were 5-1, Shanahan publicly criticized
Wilks at halftime of the 49ers' loss to the Vikings for calling
a blitz that resulted in a touchdown for Minnesota. Now,
Shanahan is making Wilks leave the coach's booth and call plays
from the sideline, as if that will make a difference.

All of this shows that Shanahan believes Wilks and his defense
are the problem. Not Shanahan's offense, which has scored only
17 points three games in row.

What adjustments will Shanahan make?

Apparently, the answer is none. He traded for another edge
rusher in Chase Young and has moved Wilks' play-calling
location, and now the 49ers are supposed to be fine. They just
needed some tweaks on defense. The offense will take care of
itself.

Moving Wilks from the booth to the sideline is a cosmetic
change, nothing more. And it's not a logical cosmetic change. At
one point, the 49ers were 5-0 with Wilks calling plays from the
booth, and the defense was playing well. That was just a few
weeks ago. No one was saying Wilks needed to move to the
sideline then. Now that they've lost a few games in a row and
have had a total team meltdown, the solution is to move one
person on game day? That's ridiculous.

Shanahan is so quick to scapegoat others, whether it's his
defensive coordinator or his quarterback. It's time he takes
accountability for his team. That's what head coaches do.

Moral of this story, don't hire black coaches.
